'A Sore Head' - Book Launch

Robert Welch - artist

 ATP Studios launched an artist book entitled  'A Sore Head' by Robert Welch, the book documents his return to painting after suffering a stroke. The book includes images and thoughts recorded during this time, and is a record of his inspirational journey back to health. Initially he was encouraged by family and friends to pick up a pencil and begin drawing, they have continued to  support him throughout his recovery and the fundraising campaign which brought this book to life.

The book launch was a huge success, the gallery packed with people who had supported the fundraising campaign, friends and family and those interested in seeing the original artwork and listening to this inspirational story.

I have been asked to supply the images from the book launch for the ATP Website and Publicity, with credits given to me for any images used..
